Video: iPhone and iPod touch iOS 4 Essential Training: Welcome

Hello and welcome to iPhone and iPod Touch Essential Training. I am Garrick Chow. The iPhone is one of the most popular, powerful, and easy-to-use smart phones on the market today. It's essentially a small computer you can hold in the palm of your hand, and the iPod Touch is basically an iPhone without the phone, running the same operating system and apps. In this course we are going to take a detailed look at all the most important features of these incredibly useful devices. We'll start off by exploring the external controls and the touchscreen interface, getting you up to speed with essential skills, like opening and closing apps and typing with the keyless keyboard.

In iPhone and iPod Touch iOS 4 Essential Training, Garrick Chow provides in-depth instruction on all aspects of the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch (OS 4.0): making calls, emailing, browsing the web, managing time, getting around town, taking notes, taking photos, and listening to music. This live-action course includes hands-on demonstrations of how to accurately type and efficiently use finger gestures, and includes tips for setting up the iPhone and iPod Touch so they behave as expected. An extensive section on troubleshooting helps when the occasional glitches happen.
